Given that the From<space> header is added by the final MTA delivering the
message, I don't see how that can work, but then I've never used ezmlm,
only Mailman and Majordomo before that.
I almost always use tagged addresses, specific to particular mailing list,
with mutt inserting the appropriate From: and Reply-To: headers based on
the recipient address. Even so, ezmlm seems to see the address of the
internal machine on a private LAN, not either of these.
